Agreed. What's crazy, is that it felt like one way or another... they were going to pull it out. Sure enough, they did.

A lot of small, yet critically important contributions in crunch time.

Hibbert's little tip after Lance's 2nd free throw.
George Hill calmly knocking down free throws.
A couple of critical offensive boards.
PG Locking down JCraw in the last 2-3 minutes of play after being red, red hot in the 4th.
Some very, very effective dishing by Watson late.

Ian Report: The whole bench had a tough time with Crawford and the Clippers' second unit. He, and any other player who can get past the PnR and put in a 10-15 foot jumper/floater, can be deadly against our rim-protecting defense. Ian defended pretty well, recorded a block, five points, and had a couple of nice tips on the offensive glass that would predicate the nice offensive rebounds that would help seal the win. He got taken out early in the fourth because of the closeness of the game, but I think he could have afforded Roy a couple more minutes of rest. He could have hit one or two more free throws. About a 'B' for today.

How well we do the next few games will depend on match-ups. Against some teams, we cannot be stopped. But if a team has the right mix of small ball, they can be a problem for us. A stretch 4 is going to be a challenge. This is where adding Granger would help us considerably.
